Why Sulphur Springs Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Sulphur Springs, Texas (city population: 23,535) sits inside a fast-growing West Texas metro (metro area population: 2.4+ million) that is expanding at 2.50% annually. The local climate—about 228/year sunny days and 34.00 inches of annual rainfall in hardiness zone 8b—supports both new landscaping and ongoing residential construction. That steady growth creates demand for basic earthmoving and grading materials: homeowners are frequently regrading yards, filling low spots, and preparing pads for sheds, patios, and foundation work. For these projects, dependable, regionally sourced aggregates are key because local soils and weather patterns affect settlement, drainage, and plant success.Popular Projects in Sulphur Springs This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Sulphur Springs Fill Dirt Delivery
Everything you need to know about fill dirt delivery in Sulphur Springs.
Hello Gravel requires a minimum order of 3 tons. Many Sulphur Springs deliveries are free or low-cost depending on supplier distance and site access; typical local delivery fees run from about $0 to $80 but can vary. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an additional fee, and all deliveries are made by contracted dump trucks (usually tri-axle).
Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers and haulers that source fill dirt from nearby pits and quarries in Hopkins County and surrounding counties. We recommend entering your zip code on our site to see available local suppliers and material photos; if you need screened material for final grading, request that option in the order notes. For specific quarry names or on-site visits, contact our sales team and we will point you to local sources serving Sulphur Springs.
Use this formula: cubic yards = (area in sq ft * depth in inches) / 324. For quick estimates using 1.3 tons per cubic yard (typical for fill dirt): 500 sq ft at 3 in ≈ 4.6 yd3 (≈ 6 tons); at 6 in ≈ 9.3 yd3 (≈ 12 tons); at 12 in ≈ 18.5 yd3 (≈ 24 tons). For 2,000 sq ft at 3 in ≈ 18.5 yd3 (≈ 24 tons) and at 12 in ≈ 74.1 yd3 (≈ 96 tons). Always order a small overage (5-10%) for settling and compaction.
Screened fill dirt has finer particles and fewer rocks, making it better for final grading, lawn prep, and sites near walkways or structures. Unscreened (pit-run) fill dirt is cheaper and fine for bulk fills, rough grading, or behind retaining walls where a finished surface is not required. Specify screened material at checkout if you plan to seed lawn or install sod in Sulphur Springs' clay-prone soils.
Fill dirt alone is not ideal as a final driving surface because it lacks the angular aggregate needed for drainage and load-bearing; use it only to build or raise grades. For driveways, place fill dirt as needed to establish grade, then add a compactable base such as crusher run or limestone screenings and a wearing surface like crushed stone or asphalt. Compact each 6-8 inch lift and consider a geotextile if your site has soft, clayey subsoil common around Sulphur Springs.
Compact fill dirt in thin lifts, typically 6 to 8 inches loose, using a plate compactor or small roller and achieve even moisture before compaction. For structural fills or driveway bases, contractors aim for high relative compaction (often 90%+ of Standard Proctor), while landscaping fills can accept less. Because Sulphur Springs soils often contain clay, proper drainage, and staged compaction help prevent future settling and shrink-swell issues.
Fill dirt is best for raising grade and filling voids; it usually has low organic content and compacts reasonably well but is not a finished surface. Crusher run or limestone screenings are superior for driveway bases because their angular particles lock together and shed water. Topsoil is for planting and will not provide structural support; for erosion control combine fill dirt with proper grading, erosion control fabric, and vegetation or stone armoring in Sulphur Springs' rainy seasons.
Permit requirements vary by project size and location; small landscape fills usually do not need permits, but large grade changes, fills near floodplains, or work affecting drainage often require permits or notifications. Check with the City of Sulphur Springs Building and Permitting office and Hopkins County before bringing in large volumes, especially if you change site drainage, impact neighboring properties, or are within regulated flood zones. Our recommendation is to call local authorities early to avoid delays.
Sulphur Springs has a humid climate with moderate rainfall and local clay-rich subsoils, which can lead to drainage and shrink-swell issues if not addressed. Proper grading, compaction, and surface runoff management are important to prevent erosion and settling; avoid placing bare fill on slopes without erosion control. Seasonal wet periods mean newly placed fill may need additional compaction or repair after heavy rains.
Labor and equipment rates vary with job size and access; for small residential jobs expect contractor spreading and compaction costs roughly $5 to $15 per cubic yard, while larger, machine-intensive jobs are often quoted by the hour or as a flat project price. Additional costs include rental or use of compactors, hauling-distance surcharges, and any grading or erosion control work; ask local contractors for written estimates and check that they account for lift compaction and moisture conditioning.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
